Words to read by

Several months back, I worked on these little bookmarks. I'm not about wasting paper, so when a client ordered square postcards and the printer had some extra space on the rectangular sheet, I designed these little bookmarks with some good little reminders to keep on hand or between the pages of your favorite book.

Now if only I had time to read...

I got the above Lovebird placecard holders at Beau-Coup. Each bird has little slot in its beak that can hold a piece of paper. They're made of solid metal, giving them a nice weight, and come in a set of eight. If you've never shopped at Beau-Coup, they offer exceptional customer service, and have some really cute products on their site.

a working manifesto

Above is a manifesto you'll see on the back of our (newly printed) calling cards. I don't know about you, but when I sort the mail, the first thing I look for is a handwritten note. There's something special about it, particularly with Facebook and e-mail abounding, to receive a note that someone held in their hand and took the time to write with you in mind. 

May you find one less bill, and one more handwritten note in your mailbox today!
